...philosophers and fools.” It is a fitting borrowing in a number of ways—both books use the time span of four key days to piece together the meaning of family through four different points of view; both extensively utilize stream-of-consciousness style in order to do so; and both feature sons with mental retardation that gives way to a type of clairvoyance. Phillips gives an explicit nod of acknowledgment to Faulkner and the inevitable parallels readers will draw between them. However, there is a key difference. While Faulkner’s characters are riddled...
...have become something of an encyclopedia of sandwich knowledge. I can tell the difference between a standard French Dip and a double-dipped. I can order a Philly Cheesesteak the right way: “wit” or “wit-out” (onions). I know where the po-boy was invented (New Orleans 1929), and the most popular sandwich in America (the hamburger).

Benjamin Netanyahu, whose Likud party finished second, appeared next. He had won, he said, because Likud was the leading right-wing party and conservatives...
...President George W. Bush confined himself to promoting symbolic gestures of support for a two-state peace agreement - largely in order to win the support of Arab moderates for the U.S.'s role in Iraq and later for its stance against Iran. A series of photo opportunities, summits and declarations culminated in talks between Olmert and Abbas over what Washington termed a "shelf" agreement - that is, something that would be concluded and then shelved for a better day, when the Palestinian security situation would have been resolved to Israel's satisfaction. But none of this substantially altered the realities...
